Digital Conduction Cooled
Loads

750-CT, 1500-CT, 2500-CT

Bird Technologies Group is proud to oer an extension to its line of Conduction-Cooled Dry Terminations.
These loads are specically designed for use in Digital Power applications and are capable of handling a
large amount of peak power for a conduction cooled load as well as power spikes as high as 20 times
the maximum average power.

} Rugged Reliability provides years of trouble free use

} Handles >13 dB Peak to Average power ratio

} 1.25:1 Maximum VSWR

} Fully shielded against the production of extraneous radiation

} Compact size, lightweight

} Easy to use

PROBLEMS } SOLUTIONS

Operate with Digital Modulation

} Capable of handling 13dB peaks

Space Constraints

} Small package size

Require multiple connector options

} Quick Connector (QC) interface oers a large variety of

options

APPLICATIONS

This family of Digital Conduction Cooled loads is ideally
suited to both primary applications for loads: in Dummy Load
applications, where the load must terminate the full generated
power, and in Reject Load applications, where power must
be dissipated continuously on the reject port of a combining
system.
